The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

I appreciated a great day hiking on my day off and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new couple who were vacationing in Alciston. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their boss' Honda Civic GX, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl telling off her spouse for being so silly. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens continuously in East Sussex and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. In any case, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
